that would actually lead somewhere, that would lead to a substantial change, fundamental change, they seem to spend their time trying to come up with loopholes. hello. welcome to the programme. the film director injured in a fatal shooting on the set of alec baldwin's new movie has spoken out for the first time. in a statement, joel souza says he is "gutted by the loss of my friend and colleague" cinematographer halyna hutchins. ms hutchins was killed and mr souza wounded when a prop gun with a live round was fired by alec baldwin. investigations are continuing as court documents suggest the actor was told the gun was safe moments before the accidental shooting. with more, here's our north america correspondent sophie long. "we miss you." the simple words of a husband and a son whose lives have been changed forever. emergency services: santa fe ems. what's your emergency? in this audio released by the emergency services, you can hear the script supervisor calling for help, describing what happened just moments before. two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. we need help immediately. we now know that when alec baldwin was handed the weapon, he was told it was safe. what's called a cold gun. yet the shot, or shots, it released killed cinematographer halyna hutchins and seriously injured directorjoel souza. the person responsible for the safety of all weapons used on the rust set was 24—year—old hannah gutierrez—reed. as the daughter of a legendary hollywood armourer, she'd been around guns all her life but, just a month ago, she spoke of her lack of experience in the job. by all means, i'm still learning, but, yeah, dad has taught me everything. i think loading blanks was like the scariest thing to me, because i was like, "oh, i don't know anything about it." there've been unconfirmed reports of complaints about safety standards on the set and that a number of crew walked out hours before the shooting happened. at this stage in the investigation, we don't know if hannah gutierrez—reed was among those that remained. halyna hutchins honed her craft here. one of her teachers said she had a unique perspective of the world. as herfriends, family and industry grieve and search for answers, a candlelit vigil will be held near the film set where she lost her life doing what she loved. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. well, earlier i spoke to firearms expert clark aposhian, who has extensive experience working as a weapons handler on hollywood productions. he gave his thoughts on the latest information regarding the accidental shooting. what i'm hearing is that it was actually a loaded round and it was handed to the actor, alec baldwin, and he fired it. it's a breakdown of at least three things. no live ammunition on a set, and pointing a firearm at a person, still not allowed on a set even during the shooting, you know, the filming of it. and finger on the trigger when it shouldn't have been. well, you touched on it there. what are the normal working practices around guns on sets and what are your thoughts about what appears to have gone wrong here? well, when you're actually using an actual firearm to fire blanks with, there's absolutely no live ammunition allowed on the premises, on the set, in any way whatsoever. secondarily, the firearm handler, the weapon handler or the armourer, is to keep eyes on that weapon and have complete control of it, especially when it's transferred from the armourer to the actor or the talent. it goes directly from the armourer who that, only after having checked it and inspected that weapon, and in a single action revolver, a i9th—century firearm like this, the inspection of that weapon is critical because you have six chambers that you have to individually, one at a time, look at. is there ever a need to have live ammunition in a gun on a movie set? no, there is not. that's an easy question to answer. why might there have been a live round on this set? i had heard anecdotally that they may have been test firing the firearm, and we have done that before but not on the set — we go to a separate range and do all the safety protocols and make sure no live ammo comes back — and that's just to help the actor familiarise themselves with the sound of the gun and that type of thing. but there's absolutely no reason and i'm still trying to figure out how that happened. guns and other weapons appear on movie sets, tv sets and on theatre stages all the time, we rarely hear of accidents and yet this has happened. are there additional safety measures that will need to be introduced ? is this being looked at? does the movie industry and the entertainment industry need to make changes to prevent this happening again? i'll tell, you , the movie industry, the entertainment industry, has done a greatjob. the vast majority of the weapons you see in films and tv shows and that are not actual weapons, they're not guns. they are specifically designed to fire a special kind of a blank that will not accept a live round, or they're just proper guns with a few moving parts, not actual firearms, and they add the muzzle blast and the smoke in post—production afterwards. on lower budget films you'll still see some actual firearms with blanks being used. i think with this, and i think the trend has been to move away and go to more computer—generated interfaces. weapons expert clark aposhian speaking to me earlier on. in sicily, the former italian interior minister and right—wing leader matteo salvini has gone on trial. he's charged with holding migrants at sea in 2019. he denies accusations of kidnapping and dereliction of duty after a boat carrying 147 migrants was refused permission to dock on the island of lampedusa for nearly three weeks. a number of other ex—government ministers, as well as hollywood actor richard gere, are expected to give evidence. mark lowen reports. in august 2019, a spanish ngo boat rescued 147 migrants crossing from north africa to europe and asked to dock in the southern italian island of lampedusa. the hard—line anti—migrant matteo salvini was then interior minister and deputy prime minister and his trademark policy was to close ports to migrant rescue boats. screaming and crying for almost three weeks, they were kept on board in boiling heat and terrible conditions. prosecutors say that amounted to kidnapping and deprivation of their rights. mr salvini said the decision was taken by the whole government and claims he was defending italy. the actor richard gere, who was on holiday in italy at the time, and travelled to sicily to deliver supplies to the migrants as agreed to testify at the trial. i grew up a christian, i'm a buddhist now, but i can't imagine jesus christ would be happy with a law that says it's illegal to help people. it makes no sense to me, it's completely crazy. i'm ashamed for all of this planet that it is illegal to help people. if convicted, matteo salvini could in theory face up to 15 years in prison. he is trying to make political capital out of the trial to bring the issue of migration, key to his support base, pack into focus as it's receded from public debate. "i'll go to trial with my head held high", he tweeted when proceedings began, adding, "italy first". mark lowen, bbc news. and speaking outside the court matteo salvini ridiculed the fact that richard gere was going to testify. translation: being put on trial for “ust translation: being put on trial forjust doing _ translation: being put on trial forjust doing my _ translation: being put on trial

trial work richard gere comes from hollywood to testify about how bad i am? i hope it lasts as short as possible because there are more important things to take care of. let's get some of the day's other news. colombia's most wanted drug trafficker and leader of the country's largest gang, antonio usuga, has been captured. the 50—year—old boss of the clan del golfo, who's also known as otoniel, was arrested in a joint operation by the army, airforce, and police. the us government has had a $5 million bounty on his head. washington accuses him of exporting tons of cocaine into the united states. there have been many operations since 2015 to capture otoniel, but none netted him. in west africa, security forces in nigeria are hunting for hundreds of inmates who escaped from a jail in oyo state. heavily—armed men stormed the prison after blasting the walls with dynamite. over 800 prisoners were reported to have escaped, but some have already been recaptured. the russian energy giant, gazprom, says it'll suspend exports to moldova unless it pays a $700 million debt and signs a new supply contract by december. gazprom has reduced supplies by a third to the former soviet state, which relies entirely on russia for its gas. earlier this week, moldova was forced to introduce a state of emergency due a shortage of gas. turkey's president is withdrawing the diplomatic status of ten foreign ambassadors after they called for the release of a philanthropist, osman kavala. president recep tayip erdogan said the ten ambassadors would be declared persona non grata, normally the first step in expelling a diplomat. they include ambassadors from turkey's nato allies the united states and france. it comes days after the turkish foreign ministry summoned the ten, for what it described as an "irresponsible" statement in which they had called for a just and speedy resolution to the case of osman kavala. about three of these countries are nato allies and germany is one of the biggest trade partners of turkey. when i have spoken to turkish officials they told me that they don't know when the process should start because turkish foreign minister cavusoglu is in korea right now and it's night—time over there. so i guess we have to wait until the morning and see what happens. but so far there is an official order that was sent to the ministry and this is a very bold move, probably focusing on domestic politics, but we will see in the coming days if that's just a bluff or they will literally put that order into effect. and if they will, we will probably see a retaliation from all those countries. osman kavala is a businessman and philanthropist who has contact with foreign business people and fundraisers and investors and he has been in prison since 2017, charged with financing protests against the government in 2013 and participating in the failed coup of 2016, and he denies all charges. but erdogan�*s government claims that all these protests against the government and the coup attempt and, in his words, terror attacks from various groups, are linked to each other, and commanded by one umbrella group, and he claims, erdogan claims that kavala is engaged with that group of powerful foreign people. ece goksedef from the bbc�*s turkish world service. a prominent advisor to the british government on covid—19 is urging the public to do everything possible to reduce transmission of the virus. professor peter openshaw says infection and death rates are "unacceptable," and he's very fearful there could be another "lockdown christmas." the government maintains there's no need for stricter covid measures in england and is encouraging all those who are eligible to get their vaccine boosters. with the latest, here's yunus mulla. as covid infection rates continue to rise sharply in england and wales, and remain high across the uk, at the heart of the government's plans to deal with covid this winter is getting people vaccinated. at this clinic on the wirral in merseyside, rising infections is a concern, for people like rachel, who has just lost a family member to the virus. i lost my son—in—law last sunday because he didn't have the vaccines. and his life support was turned off last sunday. so it's important that everybody, everybody, gets the first, second and maybe the booster. here, they're also trying to persuade some of the five million people across the uk who haven't come forward for theirfirstjab. we have not vaccinated 15 to 20% of the population. i think that poses a significant risk. although the government focus remains on vaccinations to deal with this pandemic, ministers are under pressure, with growing calls to go further and act sooner, rather than later, in introducing extra measures. one prominent government adviser has urged people to do what they can to reduce transmission of the virus. do everything possible in your control to try to reduce transmission. don't wait for the government to change policy. the sooner we all act, the sooner we can get this transmission rate down and the greater the prospect of having a christmas with our families. relying on vaccinations may not be enough. average daily hospital admissions in england of people with covid—19 have climbed to their highest level for nearly eight months. combined with the usual winter pressures such as flu, calls for government action may be difficult to ignore. yunus mulla, bbc news, wirral. you are watching bbc news, the headlines: the film director injured in a fatal shooting on the set of an alec baldwin movie speaks about the death of his colleague, as the police investigation contiunues. italy's former interior minister, matteo salvini, goes on trial charged with kidnapping after refusing to allow a migrant rescue boat to dock, two years ago. meanwhile, ahead of next week's crucial climate summit in glasgow, the environmental activist, greta thunberg, has called for honesty from world leaders, about where they're falling down on combatting climate change. her comments come as saudi arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, says it's aiming to reach net—zero carbon emissions, by 2060. greta thunberg, has been speaking to our science correspondent, rebecca morelle. it was a video that went viral — greta thunberg's surprise performance of rick astley�*s �*80s hit. it was to launch the climate live concerts ahead of the un climate talks in glasgow. # we're no strangers to love... so what does greta want to tell politicians at cop26? be honest about where you are, how you have been failing, how you are still failing us, how they spend their time. instead of trying to find solutions, they seem to spend their time trying to come up with loopholes. greta thunberg says the climate meetings are all talk but no action. this was her last month... there is no planet b, there is no planet blah. blah blah blah, blah blah blah! you've accused politicians ofjust saying "blah blah blah" — aren't you just saying "blah blah blah"? yeah. but that's the role of an activist, to organise marches, to have speeches, to organise events. it's not ourjob to be politicians. what's it like being the face of climate activism? i don't think people would recognise me in private if they met me. i appear very angry in the media, but i'm not, i'm too silly in private. so will she ever go back to normal life and stop campaigning? after the cop, i don't know — i will go home, go back to school. and of course you can't say this is the point where i will stop being an activist. it's not black and white like that. greta will be busy for a while yet, as she prepares to head to glasgow in the coming days. rebecca morelle, bbc news. a new caravan of some 6000 migrants, mostly from central america, has set off from the southern mexican city of tapachula for the united states. the group is made up primarily of people from haiti, el salvador, guatemala and honduras. theirfirst destination is mexico city, more than a thousand kilometres — 650 miles — away. isaac guzman is a photojournalist based in the state of chiapas which is where this caravan departed from. he told me more about what the conditions are like in mexico. this caravan thatjust departed today in the morning at 7am in the morning from the city, the main interest of the people that is taking part with this people decided to just leave the city because it is already a city with thousands of migrants and they cannot find anyjobs there. as many people know, mexico, because they have policies they are implementing since 2018, people decide in some way to make a route by themselves and sometimes it gets dangerous because of people they engage with, who kidnap people so they travel to mexico city in a caravan as a proposal for everyone to be safe, and better thanjust going in a few groups. so the idea of the caravan is to be safe together because, as you may know, in mexico there is a lot of violence and since 2018, for the migrants. so that is the idea. this caravan is a way to be safe in the country. to spain's canary islands now, where the eruption of the cumbre vieja volcano

sailing around the world might sound like a dream for some — a nightmare for others! but with pandemic related travel restrictions making it harder to travel abroad, a new generation of sailors are emerging, selling their land locked homes to sail away with the orinoco flow. last year, boat sales in the usa reached a 13 year high, with over 300,000 powerboats sold. and this year is due to be another record breaker, with sales up 30% compared to 2020. perhaps suprisingly, its young people fuelling that rise, with just over 400,000 first time buyers entering the market. so those are the stats, but what's the reality of giving up your life to live on a boat? jason and nicki winn live full time on curiosity and vlog about their adventures on their popular youtube channel gone with the

board. temperatures were edging up and part two of the weekend it looks a little bit milder. we will also have some chain around which will make it feel mild too. but there will be some showery bursts of rain all courtesy of this weather front which is bringing a very wet night to parts of northern ireland and western scotland. sunday morning this weather front will be slowly weakening as it continues to journey its way eastwards across the rest of scotland and for england and wales. lying across western england and will across the morning you'll notice it will become more fragmented with showery bursts of rain edging their way across the rest of england and wales through the day. not reaching the southeast until evening time so staying dry here with some glimmers of brightness. elsewhere sunshine show was heavily rumbling thunder in ireland and western scotland. it's going to be another blustery day right across the board. windiest for southern and western coast could see up to maybe 40mph in exposure. it's going to be milder probably milder than saturday with top temperatures in the brighter spots reaching around 16 celsius. through sunday night it stays blustery. there'll be clear spells and showers, most of the showers will be affecting more northern and western areas, the odd heavy one again in eastern areas which will tend to stay dry with just a few showers getting through there. another mild night to come for england and wales with a perhaps something a little bit fresher for northern ireland and scotland. here's the pressure chart then for monday, low pressure to the north of the uk, westerly winds cover these weather fronts accentuated showers with sunny spells for tuesday at more significant area of low pressure affects the north of the uk further south, closer to an area of high pressure it should be drier and a little bit brighter. this is the picture for monday, a lot of sunshine around, many places to stay dry altogether but we will have showers around. most of the southern and western areas, some of them on the heavy side. another mild day to come across england and wales, the mid—teens again, something a bit cooler and fresher for scotland and northern ireland here. around ten to 12 degrees. as we move through the week, it stays mild very milder across southern areas but southern areas will tend to see the driest and the brightest of the weather. further north always windier and wetter at times. this is bbc news. the headlines: police in new mexico are continuing to investigate a fatal shooting on the set of
